Embodiment Construction
[0025]The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for customizing content based on the operating characteristics of mobile clients. As noted earlier, a mobile client's operating characteristics encompasses any consideration that is relevant to a content source in providing the mobile client with content, including communication link, differences in hardware or software, and the subjective interests of a mobile client user. In other words, anything and everything between a content source and a mobile client, including the source and client themselves, is within the meaning of an operating characteristic. A mobile gateway receives the content and applies an appropriate transform based on one or more operating characteristics of the mobile clients that will receive the content.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for customizing content based on at least one operating characteristic of a mobile client. A mobile gateway receives content from a content source, such as an email server, a Web server, or some other content server. For example, content may include email, calendar, contact, task, Web, notification, financial, sports data, configuration information, etc. The mobile gateway customizes the content based on transforms assigned to each mobile client. Transforms account for differences in the software, display, processor, memory, communication channel, and the like, of each mobile client, without imposing additional processing burdens on the content server. Processing that is common among several transforms may be shared. Mobile clients may be any type of computer, including telephones, pagers, PDAs, laptops, and other mobile gateways.
